Chapter 4 Simple and Crude Physical Testing

The province of Brescia is not far from Milan, a city located at the southern end of the valley at the southern foot of the Alps, close to the fashion capital of Milan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is a famous industrial city in Italy and a railway hub in Italy. Unlike most industrial cities, Brescia is also a tourist destination. A 40-minute drive from the city of Brescia is home to Lake Garda, the largest inland freshwater lake in Europe, and its beautiful natural scenery is the first choice for holidays and leisure in Europe. The blue water, the sunshine, the temperature, the vineyards and olive groves, the scattered fishing villages and the old towns make up the most beautiful picture.

After more than an hour's drive, Zhang Shu stepped into the academy in Brescia under the leadership of Tinti. Cosimo, assistant coach of Brescia's Under-17 team, led them to the training ground.

On the way, Cosimo looked the boy in front of him up and down. The height of about 160 is a bit low, but there is still room for growth for a sixteen-year-old boy. But his body was too thin to please in the hands of a strong Italian defender. Speed and endurance are not visible for the time being, but Tindy has told him before that he should not get his hopes up too much, and it is estimated that it will be good to reach the passing line.

What intrigued Cosimo was another remark from Tinty, who described it as if he had Ronaldo's sense of the ball, and his ability to control football had reached the level of a top professional player. If it weren't for the fact that he had known Tyndy for more than ten years, he would have thought that the other party was kidding him.

For many people, there may be a misconception that there is no connection between ball sensation and body strength, and even excessive weight in strength training will reduce the flexibility of players. In fact, this is not unreasonable, but if the player is too weak, he will not be able to control the ball skillfully. It's like juggling the ball by the ankle, if the ankle strength is not enough, then you can only rely on the calf to exert force, and the control of the football will definitely drop a notch.

In Cosimo's eyes, Zhang Shu's body belongs to the category of "weak".

But in any case, as an academy coach, Cosimo knows that seeing is not necessarily believing, and everything has to be tested to tell him the real answer.

"Hello kid, my name is Cosimo, and I'll be in charge of testing you today." He said with a smile in English.

"Hello coach, I'm Zhang Shu." Zhang Shu straightened his waist and replied loudly.

"Just call me Cosimo, as for whether you can call me coach in the future, it depends on your performance today."

"Yes! I'll try! ”

Cosimo liked this kid a lot, he didn't see cowardice and lack of confidence in the eyes of this Chinese boy, for any child who wants to become a real professional footballer, the technique and body can be improved through training, but the psychology is the most important factor that determines their ceiling.

But Zhang Shu's next move made Cosimo's favor for him disappear. - He suddenly opened his mouth and yawned.

Last night's research skills delayed sleep time, early this morning, he was called by Tinti from bed at six o'clock, and after washing up, he drove an hour and a half from Milan to Brescia, and it was really no wonder that he couldn't control it.

Cosimo frowned, but didn't say much, and took Zhang Shu and Tindy to the sidelines.

Brescia is just a small club, and the way of testing is more simple and crude than that of the Milan laboratory. There is only one content, run. The 100 meters come five times, then the 25 meters turn back five times, and the last 12 minutes are finished, and then the height and weight heart rate are measured.

Tingdi stood worriedly and watched as Zhang Shu was taken to the runway. Although he had already told Cosimo that Zhang Shu's specialty did not lie in physical fitness, as a professional agent, he did not tell Cosimo how bad Zhang Shu's physical fitness was. Now I only hope that my friendship with Cosimo for many years can play a role, so that Zhang Shu can have the opportunity to show in the training match after the physical test.

Zhang Shu didn't think too much about it, he couldn't wait to experiment with the improvement that his skills had brought to him.

Football players rarely use a squatting starting posture to test the 100-meter run, and people who have not undergone professional track and field training will disrupt their rhythm by using a squatting start, so Zhang Shu simply stood on the starting line and made a preparatory posture.

With Cosimo's whistle, Zhang Shu activated the "synchronization" skill in the system, and the shackles caused by the time dissynchronization between consciousness and body were suddenly lowered a lot, and Zhang Shu's body split the air that usually felt stuck to him like a sharp sword, and crossed the finish line in just a few breaths.

"Eleven seconds and six, it's not bad." Cosimo looked at the stopwatch in his hand. The hand meter is eleven seconds six, which is converted into an electric meter that is eleven seconds nine. For many soccer players who are known for their speed, this is not a fast result, but it is also above average. Maybe it's because Tinti has been vaccinated for a long time before, and Cosimo, who was already ready to get a miserable result, was a little surprised in the face of this result above the ordinary line. Considering that Zhang Shu is only sixteen years old, this result is already very good.

After a half-minute break, Cosimo continued to let Zhang Shu run through the next few tests, and due to the consumption of physical energy, his performance began to gradually decrease, and the slowest time reached thirteen seconds.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, how can I be so tired?" Zhang Shu bent down and supported his knees with his hands, gasping for breath, and the cold sweat had soaked all the training clothes on his back. "I didn't get so tired running 5 100 meters before, but what happened today? Is it because of the skills? ”

It's really because of the skills. "Synchronization" allows Zhang Shu to get a faster frequency of body movement, which also consumes more physical energy. Especially in an anaerobic exercise such as the 100 meters, the physical strength expended increases exponentially for each increase in speed.

But Zhang Shu was not allowed to think of the answer to the question, and at the urging of Cosimo, Zhang Shu, who had rested for more than ten minutes, immediately accepted the test of the 25-meter switchback run.

By the time the test was over, Zhang Shu was already lying on the ground and couldn't get up.

"The grades are not bad, but this kid's physical strength is too poor, he can't get up after completing two tests, what can he do in the next 12 minutes." Cosimo looked at the stopwatch and thought to himself.

Zhang Shu, who was spread out on the ground, was also faced with a choice, whether to stop activating "synchronization" or use "stagnation" to restore physical energy. Both skills have a seven-day cooldown. Whichever one he chooses, he will face the dilemma of having no skills available for the rest of the test.

Zhang Shu, who spent half the night choosing his skills last night, was unable to overcome his choice difficulty syndrome, and when he stood on the test field of the twelve-minute run, he neither turned off "sync" nor used "stagnation".

"Hahahahahaha, it's so cool! I'm so cool! There seemed to be a flame burning his body in his chest, every breath was as uncomfortable as inhaling chili oil, the soles of his feet had lost sensation, and the calf muscles reminded Zhang Shu with spasms from time to time. He could only take a step forward while hypnotizing himself in his heart. "Hahahaha, my brain secretes dopamine! I'm so cool! I'm so cool! ”

Cosimo and Tinty, who were standing in the distance, looked at Zhang Shu, who had a handful of snot and tears, but grinned with a big mouth and a distorted smile, and a chill ran in their hearts.

When the twelve minutes finally came, in the moment before fainting, Zhang Shu finally turned on "stagnation".

--------------------------------------------

"Hey~~Hey~~~ Wake up, Zhang, wake up~~"

Zhang Shu opened his eyes, and what greeted him was the two big faces of Cosimo and Tinty.

"It's great you're okay, you're freaking us out... Tingdi said with a scared look on his face.

"Well, I'm fine," Zhang Shu blinked and said with a blank expression.

"And said it was fine! You've fainted, though for less than a second. Cosimo said with a serious face. You don't care about your body just because you're young, and you must stop exercising immediately when you feel uncomfortable. That's what you do! I've seen a lot of talented young people end up ruining their careers because they forcibly mess around, and I don't want you to be next. ”

Looking at Cosimo's face, Zhang Shu felt moved, but moved to be moved, he had to fool such a thing over, could he tell Cosimo that he could be resurrected in a full state after fainting for a second.

"Uh... I'm fine, I'm pretending to scare you... Really, no, you can see me run another 1000 meters for you? This lie is so far-fetched that Zhang Shu himself does not believe it.

But he overestimated the innocence of his foreign friends. After examining Zhang Shu's body in detail, Cosimo really believed this clumsy lie. Based on all the physical test results, Cosimo submitted a report that Zhang Shu's physical fitness and speed were completely at the upper middle level of the youth team. In particular, his willpower is worth mentioning. In the short rest time at the end of the 25-meter switchback run, Zhang Shu, who was obviously physically exhausted, was able to complete 3,700 meters in 12 minutes. What is even more surprising is that after completing the 3,700-meter run, the player's fitness has recovered to a better level than before. On the whole, in anaerobic exercises such as 100-meter and 25-meter switchback running, Zhang Shu's physical energy will be quickly consumed, but in aerobic exercises such as 12-minute running, Zhang Shu's endurance is commendable, and he can even recover his physical strength in aerobic exercise.

Zhang Shu, who knows his own family affairs, saw such an evaluation, and he was so happy that he could only write a capital service to Cosimo's brain replenishment ability.
